Folding Forum

OK, I understand it is a known issue on the radar and that apparently it may not be straightforward to address (and indeed, I haven't obviously seen your codebase). Hope you find a solution - it would avoid wasting valuable compute time in such situations.

Cheers

Yes, I'm using 8.4.9. Thanks for confirming current behavior, but then it seems the new client didn't implement something important, which the old, desktop one was handling fine. And it's really a couple of lines of code to block a restart in Win32 through the API (ShutdownBlockReasonCreate) until t...

Hey there, using the latest client, Windows 11 and noticed the following: a) If I restart system while folding, when the PC starts again the old WU is dumped and a new one is picked up (expected: pause and resume). b) If I pause folding and restart immediately, the WU remains 'paused' but then FAH p...

Curious what it would do if you started power limiting. I normally end up being at 70-80% power limit and only lose like 5% off the max performance. Granted, I only waited a couple of frames, so not definitive, but at least it looks like performance doesn't drop drastically with a lower power limit...

See here, but strangely enough I don't need it now...? Maybe I was missing a reboot after driver installation.

Probably 60mil ppd+? Then again it depends on project. And yeah, it's literally "some power" Not sure I'm willing to stand the fan noise and pay 600 watts / hour

Thanks. That and a reboot fixed it. There you go, all stock:

Looks quite decent, actually. Given that my 4090 was doing less than 30m PPD.

As apparently an incredibly lucky new owner, I am willing to talk ASAP, but for some reason FAH does not boost. So I'm looking at 5,288,988 at 630Mhz base clock...

Posted and then saw this. Same story, come on my 4090 is sad ;-) 12:31:55:WU01:FS01:Connecting to assign1.foldingathome.org:80 12:31:56:WU01:FS01:Assigned to work server 206.223.170.146 12:31:56:WU01:FS01:Requesting new work unit for slot 01: gpu:6:0 AD102 [GeForce RTX 4090] from 206.223.170.146 12:...

Just FYI, with p18601 I am getting about 30 million PPD - insane...

Besides what is mentioned in that topic about a 4070, the 4090 has 16,000 shaders. Not all projects are large enough to keep them all utilized. You will see a difference between projects with about 100,000 atoms in the simulation as compared to those with several hundred thousand. All clear, thanks...

Hey there, It's been some time since I last visited, so this has been likely discussed before. 4090 here, folding p18448, and I noticed that the GPU utilization hardly reaches 90% (more like 87% average), plus the effective clock in my case is 2970 Mhz vs the set 3000 Mhz. I wonder why that is? I am...

Thanks for this! I am currently folding on 1x OC'ed 3090 and 1x OC'ed 3080 (ca. 15m PPD, but depends), and was thinking 4090 would be roughly about the same - apparently not so

@PaulTV, yeah, 4090 FE is 1.959 EUR in the EU... Coming out tomorrow.

Seems that 3080 would be about 40% faster than 2080ti in compute:

Let's see how that translates for FAH.

Same observations, 13416 (1297, 133, 1) for example - PPD is lower than usual by about 25%. I've noticed that my GPU is loaded at 75%. If I stop my CPU slot (using 6 out of 8 threads) it goes up to 82-85%. Could it be that my CPU bottlenecks the GPU slot here? [Edit: Would have helped to read previo...
